“If any man come to Me, and hate not…he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:26,27,33.

Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to the Person-

Our Lord Jesus Christ!

There is a difference between devotion to a Person;

And devotion to principles!

To be a disciple is-

– to be a devoted love-sick child of the Lord Jesus.

Many of us who call ourselves Christians are not devoted to Jesus Christ.

No man on earth has this passionate love to the Lord Jesus unless the Holy Spirit has imparted it to him.

We may admire Him, we may respect Him and reverence Him, but we cannot love Him.

The only Lover of the Lord Jesus is the Holy Spirit.

He sheds abroad the very love of God in our hearts. Romans 5:5.

Whenever the Holy Spirit sees a chance of glorifying Jesus-

He will take your heart, your nerves, your whole personality,and simply make you blaze and glow with devotion to Jesus Christ.

Are you love-sick with the Lord?
